Problem with warmth Issues heating up
I assembled my PC a little over a week ago. I'm using the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an ASUS X670E-E Gaming board. At first, temperatures stayed between 45°C and 50°C during idle, but I encountered issues with the RAM when it ran at high speeds. The system would freeze if I pushed the speed above 5000MHz, so I had to flash the BIOS to get it working. I wasn’t sure about updating the BIOS but decided to do it a few days back. After the update, the RAM operates at 6000MHz while idle temps hovered from 50°C to 63°C. I ran Cinebench R23 continuously three times; the peak temperature reached 82°C. Are Asus addressing voltage problems for AMD X3D processors? If not, should I try undervolting the CPU manually? I’m running BIOS version 1709.
Hey there, I understand the situation with AMD a bit better now. Adjusting the voltage on either side is almost standard since most motherboards come with higher than ideal settings. If your idle temperatures are within normal ranges and the cooling setup is fine, try reducing the voltage a bit and see how it affects performance. I’m not sure about the current norms for recent AMD chips, but someone might have more insight here.
Temperatures feel just right to you. ASUS resolved the voltage problems in later BIOS updates, so everything is secure. The AM5 7000 series is built to prioritize reaching a temperature cap before performance drops. You’ll often see idle temps in the 50-60°C range, and your Cinebench readings are solid. Check out the two videos—they’re identical but labeled with timestamps to clarify the process. Hope this clarifies things.
